Please will the Gods of science funding stop giving it to the delusional. I see absolutely no benefits to these experiments other than to give the researchers the opportunity to play with hypnosis. Maybe if I got a white coat I could get my research funded.

I am not trained in hypnosis but went through it for several years because of I was suffering from DID (Dissociative Indentity Dissorder) or commonly called multiple personality dissorder, a form of PTSD. My therapist was a licensed hypnosist in the state of California.

I had tried other therapists without getting any help. I can only talk about the two years I spent working with this therapist and the help I was able to get that no other therapy offered. It worked. I successfuly integrated and no longer have DID.

I do not have to read papers to know this form of therapy works. It does. It gave me back my life. It was not covered by any medical plan that I had and I did not care. I paid the whole thing out of my salary and it was worth it every cent and more.

Thank you for offering information about this important form of therapy.

I may be being pedantic, but can I request that we remove all posts from this thread that don't go along with the opening post:

This is the place to post scientific papers and discuss studies concerning hypnosis.

Yes, that includes this one!

Heres a lab study I find highly interesting

People go through great lengths to get themselves off heroin, I bet if they learned to anchor the state they would never take the stuff again.
